A few years ago when companies began introducing their pre-modded computer cases, it is safe to say that the majority of the enthusiast community was quite excited to see something unique being brought to the market.
These new cases were aimed at the person that did not possess the skills or have the time required to perform tedious case mods. Up until that point, all computer users had available were basic, bland beige (or similar "colored") cases to store their precious system components. These new cases brought along some attractive and interesting concepts and designs. Aluminum, instead of steel, and high quality construction became the norm. Gradually these wonderful designs began to change. Either the market became flooded with hundreds of pre-modded cases or the manufacturers started taking advantage of the community and began producing rather shameful, mostly steel cases, wrapped in monstrous looking plastic shells.

They won't. You know why? Because people like myself are more interested in function and less on lights, buzzers, bells and whistles. I don't care if my case is black, blue, grey or any other color. I'm missing drive bay covers. Do I care? Not really. Simply the case serves it's purpose. Holds my RAID1 Arrays, my burners, my important components and keeps them cool. I don't want looks, just function. |
